I think that the  ANR2576W message may be related to IC21388
but the TCPFLUSH error 10054 is due to the fact that the scheduler
client session timed out (msg ANR0482W) while it was waiting for
the exchange agent to complete the backup.  Likewise, I believe
you are seeing msg ANR2578I indicating that the scheduled event was
missed because the scheduler client session has timed out.

You could avoid these msgs by changing the cmd file used to launch
the exchange agent to START excdsmc rather than invoking it directly.
Doing so will cause the command file to return to the scheduler after
launching the command rather than waiting for it to complete.  In this
case, you would see the scheduler session complete (and indicate successful
completion) very quickly after start of the event but the exchange
agent session would continue to run as normal.  Be aware though that
the successful completion of the scheduled event simply means that
the agent was started, you still need to check the agent log file to
confirm success of the Exchange backup.

Please give that a try...
